Place image on separate layer/scene (scene where only one input source exist). Make transition. If you record this scene in file with green background, then you can use recorded media file with color key (chroma key) filter to reproduce effect.
Animations itself - not supported. (This is not 3d max, yet - it is more like dvd authoring application, you able to operate with fixed number of tools: mostly to play video and audio, change it sizes :)
